00:00Yeah, it's nice to see the family for a bit, yeah.
00:12No, it's always massive.
00:13You know, you look across the past few tournaments that we've had,
00:16it's always crucial to get the first win.
00:18We knew before the game, we know it's going to be a tough game,
00:22a tough team to play against, and we had to defend our box very well.
00:26And I thought we'd done that tonight, and we've learned a lot today.
00:29But like you said, the most important thing is the three points.
00:40No, it gives us great momentum, belief.
00:44It just shows the character of the boys.
00:47You know, when it gets tough, you know, you have to deal with that.
00:51The subs that came on made a huge impact, and that's what we've always talked about,
00:55the togetherness of the group.
00:57Everyone has to be ready, as Meenu has spoken about many times.
01:00You can be called upon at any moment, and the subs was a great impact for us today.
01:09At the moment, and hopefully it continues.
01:12I know I've said that many times, even before he went to Real Madrid,
01:16what a talent he is for such a young age.
01:18The character, the maturity, the way he plays.
01:23You know, and it brings a lot.
01:24So the success that he's had at Real Madrid this season,
01:26and hopefully he can carry that on for us for England.
01:41Well, you know, obviously Harry's played a lot this season.
01:44John, you know, as myself, in and out with injuries.
01:49For myself, it's my first 90 minutes in about, I don't know, nearly four months.
01:52So, yeah, it's important to get minutes in the legs.
01:56And, you know, tournament football, the games come thick and fast.
01:58So it's all about how you recover, how professional you are.
02:02And us as a team now will recover well and focus on Denmark.
02:10No, sometimes, you know, I got cramp and sometimes you need to manage games.
02:14Yeah, it was cramp and, you know, you've got to manage games sometimes.
02:18Where do you go from here? Two more games to go.
02:20A point might be enough to get you through, but you'd better really restart.
02:24Yeah, we're not thinking about a point.
02:25We want to go to get into the Denmark game.
02:28We want to win.
02:29And that's how we're on the focus.
02:30We don't want to focus on anything else further than that.
02:33We know Denmark are a very good side, good quality players.
02:37So now the most important thing is we recover as a team
02:40and then we focus on Denmark.
02:42Kieran, clean sheets have appeared as well.
02:44Has there been question marks about them?
02:47Clean sheets are massive.
02:48As you look throughout the, you know, the winners of tournaments,
02:52clean sheets are a massive factor.
02:54And we talk about that a lot, you know, defend our box well.
02:57And certainly tonight we had to defend the crosses
03:00because they put some dangerous balls in the box.
03:02And you think you look at the last tournament as well,
03:05I think we had the most clean sheets and that can take you far.
03:08So the most important thing is don't concede.
03:11And you see the quality that we've got on the other end to score goals.
03:25Yeah, but as I've said many times, you don't need to be my age to be a leader.
03:29You can be 18, 19, 20.
03:32You can lead in different ways.
03:34And Jude, as you said, is so young, but he leads.
03:37So, like I said, you don't need to be an experienced player.
03:40You don't need to be Harry Kane, who's captain.
03:42You can be, you can lead in any way, any age.
03:45And you can't say they were right or wrong thing.
03:47And we've got that in our squad.
03:48I said that the new players that have come into the squad have done extremely well.
03:51They speak up and we've made them feel very welcome.
03:55So, yeah, a great, a great spirit, a great win.
03:58But most important thing is it's only one game.
04:00We need to focus on Denmark.
04:01So let's recover first because it was a tough game.
04:04And yeah, we'll speak again soon.
04:06Thanks, everyone.
04:07Say take care. See you soon.
